the year...1987

they had this early melvins meets black flag meets flipper thing going on

this is a collection of their first 3 eps...they only ever put out 2 full length albums along with a hand-full of eps

apparently their lead singer once told everyone he knew that he had AIDS so they'd leave him alone...he didn't

Young Widows!

Young Widows are one of the few bands carrying on the 90's noise-rock tradition.
Until their vocalist quit, they were called Breather Resist, a hardcore band that I can't really say I care for. Young Widows is nothing like that. This is supreme, modern-day/old-school fashioned noise-rock!
I saw them play in Austin a couple years back. I missed Oxbow to see these guys. It was worth it. Obviously following the tracks laid down by the Jesus Lizard, this 3-piece from Louisville, KY are the closest thing to what I used to go to shows for...

Here are a couple of releases:

Settle Down City (LP, 2006)

Young Widows/Plows (split 7", 2007)

Pitchblende - Kill Atom Smasher (1993)














Pitchblende
was a four-piece band
from Washington, D.C.
Formed in '91.
Sound like Girls Against Boys or a Matador band
Released 3 full length albums before breaking up at the end of '94.

Here is their first full-length LP released on Cargo Records in '93:
Pitchblende - Kill Atom Smasher

m.i.r.v. - feeding time on monkey island

Photobucket

released in 1997

early clutch meets scratch acid
they would've fit perfectly on the same bill as the jesus lizard

feedtime S/T (1987)

feedtime was an independent post-punk-rock trio from Sydney, Australia formed in 1979. The name is spelled with a lowercase f. The members were credited by their first names only: Rick (guitar, vocals), Al (bass), and Tom (drums).

feedtime's sound was loud, primitive, and brutal. The most distinctive musical element is thick, roaring electric guitar, played with a slide, over a thick, chugging rhythm section. Their loud but stripped-down, minimalist approach led them to be compared to the British postpunk band, WIRE (although feedtime didn't know Wire's music), but feedtime's sound also heavily referenced rural American country and blues. (wiki)

Here is their 1st self-titled LP on Abberant Recordings

Dope Guns -n- Fucking In The Streets volumes 1-3 (1989)

This is Amphetamine Reptile's version of the Single-Of-The-Month Club. A 7" each month, featuring 4 artists (-or more- some of these came as a double 7"). Lots of good bands here in their earlier stages. Not all bands are AmRep, but some should be... some shouldn't... This is the CD compilation that came later.

1. U-Men - Bad Little Woman
2. The Thrown Ups - Traffic Accident Sex
3. Lonely Moans - Lots O' Life
4. Helios Creed - The Last Laugh
5. Surgery - Action Candy
6. Cows - Almost A God
7. Halo Of Flies - Insecticide Stomp
8. Mudhoney - Twenty Four
9. Tar - Antlers
10. God Bullies - Tell Me
11. Tad - Habit & Necessity
12. King Snake Roost - My Zippo
13. God Bullies - Mussolini
14. Pogo The Clown - Intro/end

Dope Guns -n- Fucking In The Streets volumes 1-3

Dope Guns -n- Fucking In The Streets volumes 4-7 (1990)

I cannot say enough about this CD. As far as noise rock is concerned, this is where it all started for me. This CD contains most of my favorite bands- (still, today!) and, believe it or not, contains the first songs I'd ever heard by them... This is where I discovered HELMET, This is where I discovered the JESUS LIZARD, This is where I discovered MELVINS! UNSANE! and so on... I'm sure if yer looking at this blog, you already have this. I just wanted to point out the importance of this release, in particular.
(Although I love each song featured here, I have to admit that some of these bands don't live up to the single they supplied for this endeavor... Vertigo: they suck, Dwarves: they sucked lately -epitaph?!?)

1. Lubricated Goat - Bad Times
2. Thee Mighty Caesars - 1977
3. Helmet - Impressionable
4. Gas Huffer - Before I Kill Again
5. Jonestown - Short Time Left
6. Crows - Capital Hillbillies
7. the Jesus Lizard - Pop Song
8. Unsane - Broke
9. Boss Hog - Red Bath
10. Vertigo - Big Black Bugs
11. Melvins - Euthanasia
12. Dwarves - Lesbian Nun
13. Casus Belli - Telemarketing
14. Hammerhead - Gremlin Stomp
15. Cosmic Psychos - Hard
16. Fetish 69 - Deep Scar Man

Dope Guns -n- Fucking In The Streets volumes 4-7

Dope Guns -n- Fucking In The Streets volumes 8-11 (1997)

Here is the last installment of this series. AmRep kinda started to dwindle at this point. All the veteran bands moved on to bigger labels, or quit doing drugs or something... I purchased this not too long ago from Mr. Steve Austin, himself (eBay). I can't review it too well. I'm not too concerned with this roster, but it is AmRep.
Back in the day when I used to receive mail-order & newsletters from these guys, I read that the Breeders were supposed to contribute to this one...

1. Superchunk - Basement Life
2. Guzzard - Bites
3. Jawbox - Low Strung
4. Godheadsilo - Lotion Pocket
5. Boredoms - Pukuri
6. Supernova - Sugar Coated Stucco
7. Chokebore - Brittle & Depressing
8. Love 666 - You Sold Me Out #2
9. Bailter Space - Glimmer Dot
10. Steel Pole Bath Tub - A Washed Out Monkey Star Halo

KARP - Suplex





Year: Nineteen-Ninety-Fuckin'-Five
CollegeRock-Grunge-Sludge-whateverthefuckyouwanna call it, KARP is awesome. If you don't know who KARP is, think Big Business, with more yelling and geetar. KARP was formed by Chris Smith, Scott Jernigan (RIP), and Jared Warren sometime in the early 90s, and dissolved sometime in the late 90s. They managed a mix of hardcore punk, melvins-influenced sludge, and a overt tongue-in-cheek attitude that dominated their lyrics and albums as a whole. If you like Big Business, and haven't ever heard of these guys--give it a shot. KARP - Suplex

TAD - 8-Way Santa

Year: 1991
This is TAD's second full length album release, and final release on northwestern label Sub Pop. This album bounces in between upbeat riffage and slow crushing chord strangling, and keeps a pretty brisk pace throughout. Some of my favorite TAD songs came out on this release, including Jack Pepsi, Candi, and Jinx.

IF YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF TAD--YOU ARE MISSING OUT ON LIFE. Fucking download this: TAD - 8-Way Santa

hype! - movie soundtrack

Photobucket

remember "grunge"?
this is a fairly decent audio documentation of that time...released back in 1996
includes barely known bands such as u-men and some velvet sidewalk...with some better known bands such as nirvana and mudhoney
the one thing that bothered me about this was that (the)melvins weren't included on the soundtrack (though they were in the movie)..i mean they could've at least thrown the song "joan of arc" on there (which in my opinion is the heaviest use of just one guitar chord in a song)

NIRVANA - Nevermind Sessions

I guess I should introduce myself...my name is Fred (quite obviously), and I'm somewhat new in the music blog game (in the uploading side of it, at least). My first foray into it was through the blog for my College Radio Show, MINDGRINDER. I started off slow, uploading an album here or there, usually stuff that we played on the air, or albums that we talked about, and eventually we started uploading albums in our free time. This just gave us an even broader outlet to share our favorite albums with people all over the world. One band that I've pretty much left out of this though, has been NIRVANA. This hasn't been for any particular reason--it's just that the show got pretty over-saturated with it at some point and I decided to take a break. I do have a large treasure trove of bootlegs and live recordings I've collected over the past few years, and I figured that [shiny grey monotone] might be the perfect outlet for me to upload a lot of this stuff.

I'm going to start with one of my favorite bootlegs--the Nevermind Sessions. These were recorded in 1990, back when Chad Channing was still in the band, at Smart Studios in Wisconsin with Jack Endino. The tracks recorded were originally supposed to be on their next Sub Pop release (to be titled either "Sheep" or "Cookie" or something....), but instead were used merely as documentation for when they re-recorded later on with Dave Grohl and Butch Vig. Awesome look at an album in it's infancy.

The Treepeople



[1991] Guilt Regret Embarrassment
[1992] Something Vicious For Tomorrow and Time Whore
[1994] Actual Re-Enactment

The Treepeople were a 4-piece "College Rock" band that formed in Boise, Idaho by Doug Martsch (commonly recognized as the frontman for Built to Spill). As far I've seen, you'll either love them, hate them, or listen to them as a guilty pleasure (I'm in the latter pool). Many of their songs are sprinkled with excellent guitar harmonies, and a few power-chorded, somewhat jangly, riffs here and there, with a few hints at possible metal influences in Martsch's guitar playing. Vocal-wise, most of the songs tend to be pretty "nasally", which can take awhile to get over, but I've found their music to be well worth it. "Guilt Regret..." would be a great place to start out of the three, and contains the rawest recordings and the most guitar harmonies; while "Something Vicious..." and "Actual Re-Enactment" tend to be a little more simpler guitar-wise, which doesn't weaken the music--it just matters what appeals to YOU as a listener. As far as I know, The Treepeople didn't get much past college radio play, and broke up shortly after (mid nineties or so), and it shows by their lack of fanbase. This band is awesome, and you should definitely give them a listen.

Skin Yard - Fist Sized Chunks

Year: 1990
Formed and perpetrated in Seattle

This is GRUNNNNNGGEEEEEE, maaaaan. Excellent album from classic group Skin Yard, with a favorite producer of mine (Jack Endino) on skins. Not much else to say about this band--existed within the folds of Soundgarden, the Melvins, and Green River back in their early days and died out at the height of the grunge fad.

This sucker is out of print apparently; good luck finding yourself a CD copy.

Vocalist Ben McMillan died of diabetes complications earlier in the year (R.I.P.)

The Jesus Replicator; Halloween Bash, 2004

Here is some band called REPLICATOR. I don't know much aside that for Halloween parties, they would go all out & "Be" another band- from learning a list of covers, to emulating their personal mannerisms... In 2004, they played the Hemlock Tavern (?) as the Jesus Lizard-that's right: the Jesus Lizard... They didn't do such a a bad job either.

There are a bunch of live photos inside.

get this shit!
